87 Ranger broken flexplate, again!

Is there something I don't know about here? The flexplate broke on my dads V-6 4x4 ranger about a year ago and now the new one is broken. Is there some super secret trick to installing them? Is there something else wrong here, maybe? Any insight would be helpful,

Thanks

Shannon



PS, I didn't search because I'm on my way out the door and wanted to get an answer by the time I get back. So don't kill me in your minds. :grinno:
